Samantha Markle, the half-sister of Meghan Markle, is set to have her day in court as a judge has recently scheduled a trial date for her defamation lawsuit.

The trial will commence on November 4th, 2024, in Tampa, and is expected to last up to five days.

Samantha is seeking $75,000 in damages.

Despite their long-standing estrangement, Samantha alleges that she was defamed during the controversial interview between Prince Harry, Meghan, and Oprah Winfrey, which aired in 2021.

Earlier this year, a judge in Florida dismissed the lawsuit, stating that it would be impossible to disprove Meghan’s claims.

However, following some amendments, the same judge now appears to have acknowledged the merit in Samantha’s claims.

During the interview, Meghan made references to growing up as an only child, which Samantha resented.

Samantha maintains that she had a normal sibling relationship with her younger half-sister.

In a decision dated November 14th, the judge set the trial date for November 2024, with in-person meetings scheduled to take place beforehand.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s legal team has submitted another motion to appeal against Samantha’s current suit, awaiting a ruling from the judge.

Until this motion is decided upon, it remains uncertain whether the case will proceed or not, according to Samantha’s lawyer, Peter Tickton.

Samantha, who battles multiple sclerosis and relies on a wheelchair, claims that Meghan’s comments caused her humiliation and subjected her to hatred.

She asserts that Meghan’s words during the interview were demonstrably false and malicious.

Samantha further alleges that these comments negatively impacted the sales of her book, “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister, Part 1.”

Despite facing challenges, Samantha remains defiant in her pursuit of proving Meghan’s wrongdoing.

Following a hearing over the libel lawsuit, Samantha expressed optimism about her chances of winning the case.

She believes that the truth will prevail and appreciates the opportunity provided by the justice system to present the facts.

Samantha acknowledges that people change and have their own agendas, but she remains hopeful that Meghan will embrace the truth and a better part of herself someday.

Samantha’s lawsuit contends that some of Meghan’s comments in the Oprah Winfrey interview were false, particularly the claim that Meghan grew up as an only child.

Samantha clarifies that she and her brother, Thomas Markle Jr., played integral roles in Meghan’s life until the age of 12.

They taught her how to walk, accompanied her to school, and shared normal sibling experiences.

Samantha emphasizes that acknowledging their influence until the age of 12 is distinct from claiming they raised her.

As the trial date approaches, both Samantha and Meghan prepare for a legal battle that will determine the outcome of this defamation lawsuit.

While Samantha seeks justice and vindication, Meghan will defend herself against the allegations made by her estranged half-sister.

Only time will tell how this high-profile legal dispute will unfold, leaving both parties anxiously awaiting the resolution based on truth and positivity.
